Turn off DHCP from the second router (make sure there's only one dhcp server, in your case the first router), else you'll get loads of weird behaviour.

So, in this scenario, only one router would have wifi turned on, is this what you mean by turning off DHCP? For me, I don't think this would achieve anything because the room where the modem is doesn't have any devices that need to be hard wired. This being the case, couldn't I just ..
Modem --> Home PLug --> old Router (router now being in the position of my choice, and new router not being used as from my testing seems worse than the old one, even though it's an N!)
PS, I don't have a superhub, it's just a D-link N router Virgin sent me.
